R analyst predicts “urban tsunami”

This message landed in my in-box this morning. It was sent by Robert D. Miller, a lawyer with Locke-Liddell. I would caution readers to consider that this communication could be intended to suppress Democratic turnout on election day. They should also consider that Republicans tended to vote early in this election cycle, and that the election day turnout is likely to favor the Democrats. Looking at data prepared by Derek Ryan of Ryan Data & Research regarding the early vote through yesterday, it appears that the Republicans will win the early vote (unless something changes dramatically today [Friday]) in the following DFW and Harris County Texas House districts: 93 — Pierson/Nash 96 — Turner/Zedler 101 — Miklos/Burkett 102 — Kent/Carter 105 — Harper Brown/Haldenwang 106 — England/Anderson 107 — Vaught/Sheets 113 — Driver/Doris 114 — Hartnett/Wellik 133 — Thibaut/Murphy 134 — Cohen/Davis (very close) 137 — Hochberg/Spivey 138 — Bohac/Camarena 144 — Legler/Molina 149 — Vo/O’Connor This is not the full extent of the list of vulnerable Democrats. Still out there are Herrero, Homer, Frost, Maldonado, McReynolds, Moody, Rose, Dunnam, and other possible surprises.
